Police are searching for a driver following a suspected road rage incident in which a man allegedly fired a flare gun at another driver.
The incident followed a collision between a HiAce utility van and a BMW sedan just before 10am Wednesday near Cool Spring Close in Savannah, the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said in a press release.
An altercation ensued between the drivers after the collision and one of the men involved retrieved what police said is believed to be a flare gun.
The man “discharged a round, then ran from the location leaving his vehicle behind following the arrival of the police,” the RCIPS release said.
The second driver, police said, sustained minor injuries as a result of the physical altercation that occurred between the men.
Police said they followed the man who fled and believed that he had run into a nearby residence.
One man was subsequently detained for questioning but later released.
The offending driver in the incident was not located during the search, police said.
His vehicle and additional live rounds were recovered as evidence by the police.
Detectives are encouraging anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the driver who fired the flare gun to call the Bodden Town Police Station at 947-2220.
Anonymous tips can be made to the RCIPS confidential tip line at 949-7777, or via the police website.
